All About

LeAnn Rimes

Get the latest photos, news, and more

Even at 22, LeAnn Rimes retains her creepy preternatural maturity, holding tight to the sack of weird throaty vocal tricks that made her sound grown-up at 13. But in better news, she's done making dance-pop records (remember 2002's Twisted Angel?). ''With You,'' ''I Got It Bad,'' and ''Something's Gotta Give'' are serious roll-the-windows-down country-radio fun, and on This Woman's dreamy ''Afraid to Fall,'' she quits acting like she's an adult and just is one...and the difference is joyfully clear.
